How the calculation works

Divide your annual salary by the total hours you actually work in a year, hours per week times weeks worked per year, to get an equivalent hourly rate. This is the reverse of the Hourly to Salary Calculator, useful for comparing a salaried offer against an hourly one, or estimating your effective rate if you left a salaried role for freelance or contract work.

Formula

Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours Per Week × Weeks Worked Per Year).

Examples

  • $60,000/year, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks

    $28.85/hour ($1,153.85/week)

  • $45,000/year, 37.5 hours/week, 52 weeks

    $23.08/hour ($865.38/week)
